Parents Against Expanded Learning Time (PAELT (pronounced "pelt")) is a group of parents from Pepperell, Townsend and Ashby, MA who think that Expanded Learning Time (ELT) is wrong for our children and for our communities. The North Middlesex Regional School District (NMRSD) superintendent, Dr. Maureen Marshall, is considering implementing this program for the Varnum Brook Elementary School in Pepperell as as a pilot program before introducing it to all NMRSD schools. Below, please find links for more information and for ways you can help us oppose this program.
